A year in trees
A gratuitous photo gallery from my phone
I’m not feeling particularly patriotic this July 4th eve, so I’ll offer this palate cleanser from my phone.
All were taken in the past year in Alabama. The abundance of green, chattering biodiversity is one of my favorite features of this complicated place I call home.
I believe the trees. They embody a wisdom, fortitude and serenity that we humans could stand to pattern after, if we could just shut up for a minute and be still.
Find some shade. Drink some water. Take care of your precious selves.
Beth, these are lovely. I lived in Alabama for seven years of my childhood, and I inherited my mother's great love of trees. Thank you for sharing these. I made my way here via Jami Attenberg's 1,000 Words challenge — I'm glad I did!
Thank you. Have you read "The Overstory" by Richard Powers? Highly recommend it.
